HB 4484 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Motor vehicles; authorizing certain employees of the Corporation Commission to drive certain vehicles; effective date.

HB 4484 updates Oklahoma law to allow certain Corporation Commission employees to use state-owned or leased vehicles for commuting between their homes and workplaces, or for work-related travel outside their primary location. The bill specifically authorizes field inspectors and employees working assigned areas (not stationed at a central office) to use state vehicles, provided the commute does not exceed 75 miles round trip or stays within the county. It requires written authorization for temporary vehicle use that saves agency costs, with monthly records for non-law enforcement agencies. The change expands existing exceptions for essential state employees without altering penalties for unauthorized vehicle use.
